Breathe

Running on top of rolls of hay.

You said forever.

Oh, but your smile made me believe it.

Leaves beneath our feet.

I missed the first time, but second shot, I hit right on.

But the cabin was so cold.

I'd never felt such a cold fire.

We were running late though.

Running.

I ran for you.

Ran 'til I couldn't breathe.

Gasping.

I didn't know it wouldn't be the only time you'd leave me without air.

You kept taking until I didn't have any left.

I don't want to let you take it anymore!

I want to breathe on my own.

When will you risk it all for me?

When you're willing to, it'll be too late.

I see that now.

Until then, you're still robbing me of air.
